What is an Art Blanket? A new interior décor option for your home
An art blanket is a blanket that features an artistic design, either woven or printed. You can display it as decor or use it daily as a cozy wrap. It's an item that connects daily life with art.
Blankets have found new homes
Blankets used to be for keeping your knees warm on the sofa on a cold night.
Or an extra layer in the bedroom during winter.
Of course, those are still lovely ways to use them, but recently, we've been seeing them in different settings.
Draped casually over the back of a sofa to add a touch of flair to a room.
Hung on a wall as a tapestry.
Placed at the foot of a bed to add rhythm to the space.
More and more people are choosing a blanket over a framed poster.
Enjoying them in new ways.
What makes art blankets different from regular blankets?
In a word: "usable art."
With regular blankets, warmth and feel are paramount.
Art blankets add an axis of design expression.
For example, the jacquard weaving method. This 18th-century French technique creates intricate patterns by combining warp and weft threads. Unlike prints, the design is woven directly into the fabric, making it fade-resistant and giving the reverse side a different look.
This leads to the joy of reversibility, offering two distinct moods in one blanket. Changing sides to match your mood or the season can be a refreshing change.
Can be displayed, used, and washed.
Art that naturally blends into daily life may be surprisingly rare.
Where to place them? Sofa, bed, wall, and beyond
The great thing about art blankets is that there's no "must-place-it-here" rule.
On the sofa
Drape it, fold it, toss it casually. Any way looks good.
You can match it to the sofa's color, or have fun by choosing a contrasting blanket for an accent.
On the bed
A foot throw—styling by simply placing a blanket at the foot of the bed.
Just by layering it over your duvet, the bedroom atmosphere changes significantly.
On the wall
A way to display it like a tapestry.
The nice thing is that you don't need a frame, so you can easily change it out.
For outings too
Take it to a picnic or cherry blossom viewing, and it instantly adds charm.
If it comes with a dedicated bag, it's easy to carry.
iMPeRF's art blankets are designed to cover all these uses. Made of 100% cotton, they are suitable for all seasons and prioritize a pleasant feel.
Three things to consider when choosing an art blanket

It's light and breathable in summer, and warm when layered in winter. The fact that it's machine washable is also a plus for everyday use.
